Deep Cove Outdoors is sponsoring an SUP Race at Deep Cove on Wednesday Night June 30. I'm looking for some feedback on the race format. I would like to encourage participation from large number of people so I don't want to make the course length too long. I am thinking 6 km. Which I imagine would take people about 45 - 70 minutes. ?? I imagine some of the faster guys cruise at 9 kph whereas some of the slower paddlers are about 5 kph.
We will route the course around some of the islands to make it interesting. Usually in the evening the winds are calm. The other option is to do a lap style race which is more interesting for spectators.
Starboard will be involved and like our regular Tuesday Night Kayak Race we will video the race and take it to The Raven Pub for an Apres Race Party.
As a surf ski paddler I'm going to start training SUP tomorrow so I can kick some SU Paddler Butt!!
Yeah that's right, let the trash talking begin.
I hope to see you at the Race.
